Two deputy principals, a couple of heads of school, one or two others...and me. i really didn't why I was there. Lots of talking around some vague stuff before getting round to academic integrity. Then there was 5 minutes of blowing smoke my way as I have been active in terms of discipline, especially in terms of AI stuff. Then, they started talking about how we needed a new group to refresh our discipline policies and communications. A group with various powers, and I started getting a sinking feeling. This magic group would essentially be tasked with root and branch reform of everything. They got excited talking about how this and that could work. Oh yes, they were dead keen that someone "gets to grip" with this issue, and looks at all our policies and penalties. So, anyway, I am now the new Head of Academic Integrity with months of ball-aching tedious committee work ahead of me. It comes with no extra pay or workload allocation. I take it saying “sorry I’ve got enough on my plate at the minute” would’ve been a no-go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to apply for promotion to professor within the next 2 years. This, if I manage to not f**k it up, will help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get to "hand pick" members of my new group. Might choose him. When it comes to cheating, he is an utter zealot. Nobody, not even me, had referred more students for misconduct than him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, nothing screams "integrity" like telling a fitba forum about the direction of travel of an academic institution, right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had all this sh*te to go thru to earn a decent salary. Gets a bit boring grinding out 35 hour 4 day weeks without any of these challenges to negotiate . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jives Miguel Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 What do you do about a work colleague that smells bad? I'm not even sure it is 100% hygiene related reasons, but the guy is absolutely fucking pungent all of the time. He's a South Asian fella, and some/most of it must be related to food cooks in his house or eats. Whatever it is, the smell is overpowering from him. We work in a shared office building with other companies, and I've seen other people hold their nose walking past our office if the door is left open. The stench fills the room, and I have to sit directly next to him. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's something else you'd need to tread more carefully and maybe get HR to have a word. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are holding their nose walking past you want that to be because you made it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) A former boss used to give us weekly pep talks about the importance of hygiene. All sitting round in a circle listening to the importance of washing our armpits and groin with soap like naughty children. Other than at the start/end of shifts, the c**t was always locked away in his office anyway. None of us had a clue who it was aimed at, so I think he just thought we all stank. He confessed to me once that he brushed his teeth six times a day, so I think it was definitely a him problem. 3 minutes ago, itzdrk said: You need to create your own smell, one which dominates the office and overpowers his.

Murder his stinky colleague and stuff the body under his desk? Edited February 2 by BFTD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, or at least its not the conventional, distinctive BO smell. As you allude to, its difficult to even talk about or describe without coming across like Enoch Powell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
